Visite de l’exposition FAIT MAIN à Grenoble
During the Journées du Patrimoine 2022 I visited the very interesting exposition FAIT MAIN at the Musée Dauphinois, Grenoble, France. Please excuse my poor photos. Hope they give an idea nevertheless.
Lors des Journées du Patrimoine 2022, j’ai visité l’exposition FAIT MAIN à Grenoble, au Musée Dauphinois. Bien intéressant. Mes photos peuvent donner une idée seulment. Un joli catalogue est disponible aussi.
FAIT MAIN. Quand Grenoble gantait le monde
A wonderful show on the art of glove making. Grenoble, France, 25.3.2022 – 27.3.2023, Musée Dauphinois
This show illustrates the history of glove making in the Grenoble region (where glove making became big in the 18th century, based on even older Italian know-how, eventually declining only after World War II). A MUST for all lovers of glove making. A publication is available as well.
ganterie.org – a site on glovemaking
In 2015 I got interested in glovemaking – and then it took me years to really get into it. This site is to provide information on glovemaking – especially on the (almost completely undocumented) work of the women doing the gloves (traditionally, men cut the leather, and women do the sewing; the male work is well documented, the female work not at all – and at great risk of getting lost, as it is only orally transmitted).
